“The Republican-led House Oversight and Government Reform Committee is threatening to hold former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in contempt of Congress if they fail to appear for closed-door depositions next week as part of the panel’s investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein,” Politico reports.

Applegrove: is this a White House gambit to stop the release of the Epstein files..... make a deal with Congress to protect the Clintons and Trump at the same time?
